Two Points to Pay Attention to when Choosing Condoms: The Three Most Unreliable Contraceptive Methods
Post Date April, 15 2023
Regardless of the level of sexual education and the increase in sexual topics in books and magazines, there are still many rumors circulating about pregnancy and contraception, which seem to have been passed down from generation to generation. The basic fact is that women of childbearing age (from adolescence to amenorrhea) are more likely to conceive during their monthly pregnancy, which is a few days before and after the ovaries expel eggs, if they engage in sexual intercourse without contraceptive protection.
When choosing a qualified condom, the following two points must be kept in mind.
Packaging: The outer packaging should include at least the set specifications (color, tip shape, etc.), nominal width, manufacturer, wholesaler or seller's name, expiration date, manufacturer's reference mark (batch number, etc.), storage guide, set model, etc.
Time: Some people believe that the fresher the condom, the better. This is not the case. Newly produced condoms are stored in sealed packaging after adding lubricant, and the chemical properties of latex determine poor elasticity and texture. Generally speaking, after six months to a year of storage, the latex and lubricant have a certain degree of physical and chemical reaction, and at this time, the texture and elasticity of the condom have reached their optimal state.
Generally speaking, condoms that have been shipped for 1-2 years are the most comfortable to use. Condoms that have been shipped for more than 3 years are prone to becoming brittle and have a slightly astringent texture. At the same time, the lubricant added inside is almost absorbed by the latex, greatly reducing the lubrication effect.
3 least reliable contraceptive methods
Coitus interruptus contraceptive method
Coitus interruptus contraceptive method refers to the method that when couples have sex, men interrupt sexual intercourse at the moment when they are about to enter the climax of sexual desire, quickly pull out the penis, and expel semen from the female vagina, so as to achieve the purpose of contraception. This is an ancient method of contraception, which was used by many people in the past when contraceptive pills were insufficient.
The coitus interruptus contraceptive method is simple, but unreliable and has a high failure rate. The reason for the failure is that a small amount of semen enters the vagina before the penis is pulled out of the vagina. Ejaculation and ejaculation are consistent movements, with a very short interval between the two. Many men are unable to grasp the timing correctly, and when they reach orgasm, the penis cannot be immediately withdrawn from the vagina. The initial injection of semen is discharged into the female vagina, which contains the most sperm and is prone to pregnancy. This is the main reason for the failure of coitus interruptus contraception.
